| Objectives: |
-
Understand the means of production of synchrotron x-ray radiation.
-
Understand the function of various components of a synchrotron beamline.
-
Be able to perform calculations in support of a synchrotron experiment.
-
Understand the physics behind a variety of experimental techniques.
-
Be able to make an oral presentation of a synchrotron radiation
research topic.
-
Be able to write a General User Proposal in the format used by the
Advanced Photon Source
|
| Material: |
- X-ray and their interaction with matter
- Sources of x-rays
- Refraction and reflection from interfaces
- Kinematical Diffraction
- Diffraction by perfect crystals
- Photoelectric absorption
- Resonant scattering
- Small angle scattering (not in book)
- Other topics as appropriate
|
| Grading: |
Grading for this course will be based on homework assignments (33%),
student presentations (33%) and project
(33%).
|
| Project: |
You will be required to write a General User Proposal to the Advanced
Photon Source. This tutorial
describes the process of submitting a proposal. The topic of your
proposal should be different than the topic of your presentation and
must be approved beforehand by the instructor.
|
| Presentation: |
The final examination will consist of a 20 minute presentation (15
minutes of talk plus 5 minutes for questions). Your presentation will
be based on a journal article and must be approved in advance by the
instructor. The topic must be different than that of your General User
Proposal project.
|
| Academic Honesty Policy: |
IIT has a Code of Conduct which is available at
http://www.iit.edu/student_affairs/handbook/pdfs/HANDBOOK_2010_11.pdf (see page 31).
All students in this course are expected to follow this code.
The first violation will result in a grade of "zero" for that
assignment (exam or quiz). Subsequent violations will result
in a failing grade in the course.
|
| Accomodation for Disabilities: |
Reasonable accommodations will be made for students with documented
disabilities. In order to receive accommodations, students must
obtain a letter of accommodation from the Center for Disability
Resources in Life Sciences Building, room 218, 312-567-5744 or
disabilities@iit.edu.
